A major mishap averted at Riyadh Airport. A Mumbai-bound Jet Airways plane carrying 149 people skidded off the runway at Riyadh airport. The aircraft with 142 passengers and 7 crew members on board veered off on the runway minutes before it was scheduled to takeoff early morning. The aircraft was well in the runway itself, but somehow missed the alignment. Jet flight was bound to Mumbai and all passengers have been safely evacuated. Jet Airways is making alternative arrangements for passengers so that they can reach the destination.
